STATE PRISON.

No important changes or improvements have been made during

the past year except the completion of such as were authorized by the last legislature. . The affairs of the prison have been managed in a very satisfactory manner. The discipline has been mild but firm, the food of good quality and sufficient in quantity. The manufacturing industries have all been carried on at a profit and the stock of manufactured goods now on hand is very clean and salable. The punishments have been comparatively few and as a rule the convicts have manifested a disposition to so conduct themselves as to secure the deductions of time from their sentences allmved them for good behavior.

It seems to us that some method of aiding discharged convicts, to some extent, should be adopted. The convicts are now dis­charged from the prison, each with a somewhat meager outfit of clothing and the sum of five dollars as a capital with which to again begin life, which sum, in many instances is insufficient to defray their necessary expenses to the place from whence the State has taken them. However desirous the convict may be, on his discharge from the prison, of leading a life of usefulness, he is at the very outset confronted with the strongest possible incentive to commit crime, being that of poverty. If the State could do some­thing to aid the convicts at the time of their greatest need, at a

time when people regard them with suspicion and the world treats them with a great degree of coldness, we are convinced that the

results . would justify the expenditure. An appropriation of five hundred dollars would, in our judgment, be sufficient for that pur­pose.

The law enacted by the last legislature, establishing an insane department in the State Prison for the care of the criminal insane, provides: That the expense thereof "shall be paid for by the State

8 STATE PRISON.

by order of the GoYernor and Council from prison appropriations." As there ·was no appropriation made for the prison, except for specific purposes, the expense has necessarily been borne by the prison and has resulted in a considerable increase in its outstand­ing liabilities. The total expense for the support of the criminal insane at the prison to November 30, 1894, is $5,096.89.

There has been no appropriation for six years for the current expenses of the prison, while during the same period, the expendi­tures have, each year, exceeded the income. There are now out­standing liabilities amounting to $9,838.20, which should be provided for by the legislature. The success of the manufacturing industries also requires an appropriation of $5,000 for a ·working capital.

The large number of buildings owned by the State and used in connection with the prison together with the necessary wear of the equipment require an almost constant outlay of money to keep them in suitable repair. Many of the buildings are old and will require more or less repairs until replaced by new ones. An appropriation of $2,000 per year is needed for the necessary repairs on the build­ings and equipment.

The lighting of the prison buildings for the past two years, under a contract with the Knox, Gas and Electric Company, has, so far as the service is concerned, been satisfactory, but owing to the insufficient ttppropriation made for this purpose, and the desire of the inspectors to keep within the appropriation, only a part of the lights have been burned. The lighting company, notwithstand­ing the contract calls for not less than 112 lights, have cut down the number, to carry out this desire of the inspectors and the prison committee of the council. The entire building has been wired at large expense to the lighting company, and we believe it

is not only clue to them, under their contract with the State, but also to the prison, that it should have as good lighting service as other similar state buildings, that the legislature should make an appropriation sufficiently large to fully light all the buildings owned by the State, at Thomaston.

WARDEN'S REPORT.

vY ARDEN's OFFrcE, }

l\LuNE STATE PRISON, December 1, 1894.

To the Honorable Governot ancl Coundl:

In compliance with the statutes, and in accordance with the usual custom, I hermvith present my report for the fiscal year end­ing November 30, 1894.

For an exhibit of financial transactions during the year and the present financial condition of the prison, also for statistical infor­mation relative to convicts and insane patients, I would respect­fully refer you to the following pages.

In presenting my report for 1893, I considered the fact that there was to be no session of the legistature during that year, and consequently did not deem it advisable to offer any suggestions, make any recommendations or otherwise extend my remarks at that time. "'\'Yhatever, under other circumstances, I might have said in that report, I shall endeayor to embody in this, in as con­cise a form as the subjects will admit.

Early in the spring of 1893, the so-called "Payson buildings and lot," west of the prison .. were purchased, for the sum named in the appropriation; the buildings "Were placed in thorough repair, and the house somewhat remodeled, so as to comprise two tenements,

which have since been occupied by officers of the prison.

A twenty-five horse-power engine, together with shafting, pul­leys, belts and other necessary appliances were purchased of the Hinckley & Egery Iron Co. of Bangor, placed in position and con­

nected to the steam plant, during last year. The work of the

engine in supplying power for manufacturing purposes is entirely successful and satisfactory.

A washing-machine, mangle, dryers, bath-tubs and other fix­tures and appliances, necessary for fitting up a steam laundry and

14 STATE PRISON.

bath-rooms, were also purchased and set up during last year. The

establishment of the steam laundry has met our expectations, in that it has proved to be a labor-saving investment ; and the facili­ties afforded by the fitting up of the b~th-roo~s are a decided con­

venience ancl,-as a sanitary measure,-an obvious improvement.

The stable and buildings connected therewith have been moved

to a \110re desirable and convenient position, and have been quite

thoroughly remodeled and repaired. New out-buildings have been

erected, including an open shed for teams, the building inside of the

wall formerly used as a wash-house has been moved, repaired and

placed in proper condition for use as a wood-house ; both the out­side and inside surfaces of the two wings of the prison building,

and also of the entire length of the prison walls have been white­

washed and somewhat repaired; new 1valks have been laid, and

others repaired; and quite extensiYe repairs, including shingling,

have been done on some of the dwelling houses and out-buildings;

and there are other items chargeable to this account that we fail to

mention; and there are still many repairs that are at present needed

to be made, and with so large a number of buildings and so much

surface to cover and protect from the inevitable wear of time, the necessity for other repairs will continually present itself, and the interests of the State would seem to demand that the necessity be met. In view of these facts, I would recommend that provisions be made whereby an annual appropriation of fifteen hundred dollars could be realized and applied to ordinary repairs.

For the first time in the history of the institution, the officers of

the prison have, during the past year, been clothed in complete uniform, procured at their own expense, with the exception of the

caps which were furnished by the prison, and remain the property

of the State. The officers are also organized as a fire company, and

with the aid of the steam fire engine and appliances, would be

available and ready to do efficient work in that line, should occasion

require it. In order to give this department the attention that its

importance and the interests of the State demand, it will be neces­

sary during the next year to extensively and thoroughly remodel and refit the engine-house ; therefore I would ask for a special

appropriation of one thousand dollars to be applied to the needs of the fire department.

In accordance with enactments made by the Sixty-sixth Legisla­

ture, a portion of the west wing of the prison was fitted up as a

"\VARDEN'S REPORT, 15

department for the insane, and has been occupied for that purpose since August 9, 1893. Twelve patients who had previously been transferred from the prison, as insane convicts, were at that time returned from the Maine Insane Hospital, and,-with five convicts at the prison who had been adjudged insane,-were placed in the above named department. Since which time the average number in the department has been about twenty, who have been under the immediate care and supervision of Mr. Charles l\f. Moody, who had previously had several years experience in the care of the insane, as an attendant at the Maine Insane Hospital. As no special provisions had been made for providing funds with which to meet the expenditures for board, care and clothing for patients in this department, and as it "·as decided that it could not properly be clrnwn from the regular appropriation for insane state bene­

ficiaries, we have been obliged to meet the expense without any reimbursement; consequently there is now due the prison, on account of the above, a sum amounting to something more than five thousand dollars. ,Ye trust that this matter will command your careful consideration, and that of the legislature, and that provisions will be made, not only for the deficiency, but for the expenses of the department in the future, as well.

By the establishment of the insane department which, although

in the prison, is not really of it, the responsibilities and duties of certaiu of the officers of the prison were largely increased and no recompense provided, which fact we trust, will also be favorably considered.

Although by a skillful and, perhaps, mystifying array of figures and phrases some may have beeu led-at certain times in the past -to believe that the prison was a self-supporting institution, yet it is a well established fact that such is not, nor never has been the case. 'While it is understood that the department loss results in a corresponding decrease of the net assets of the institution, and

must, consequently, very materially cripple and interfere with its working capacities, it will be readily seen that, at least, an occa­sional appropriation is necessary, consequently,-ancl in considera­tion of the fact that during the last six years no appropriation has been made for that purpose-I would respectfully recommend that the sum of fifteen thousand dollars be appropriated for deficiencies.

The general depression of business during the past year has naturally affected us in common with the business community at

STATE I'lUSOX.

large, consequently we close the year with quite a full stock of

goods in each of the industrial departments on hand, which, how­ever, we trust we shall be enabled to dispose of during the corn­

ing season without material loss. The administration of the affairs of the prison, so far as relates

to government and discipline, have been attended with so gratify­ing results that we are enabled to record that, during the time cov­

ered by this report, no instance of flagrant insubordination has occurred, and no successful attempt to escape has been made.

No epidemic or contagious disease has been encountered, and the health of the convicts, as a whole, has been remarkably good.

For more extended information in reference to this point, I would

refer you to the subjoined report of the prison physician, Dr. J. E. Walker.

The intellectual, moral and religious interests of the convicts

hs:tve been subserved by th'e efficient chaplain of the prison, Rev. C. A. Plumer, to whose accompanying report I would also refer you. In this connection, I would not fail to mention that, in the

interest of the convicts of Catholic tendencies, on one-fourth of the

Sabbaths, a chapel service is able and gratuitously conducted by Fr. R. "\Y. Phelan, who also makes occasional visits at other times.

I wish briefly to call your attention to the matter of disclrnrged convicts. The statutes provide that on the discharge of a convict, the warden-under certain conditions-may give him from the funds of the prison, the sum of five dollars, and that be shall fake care that every convict on his discharge, is provided ·with decent clothing, and the custom followed has invariably conformed to the provisions of the law. Observation and a candid consideration of the subject convinces me that in many instances, especially when

his home, or the locality to which the person decides to go, in the event that he has no borne, is in a remote section of the State, or

perhaps out of tlie State, as is the case with many, the above­named provision is insufficient to meet his necessities, and in con­

sequence, he is virtually compelled to either beg or steal before he

has had a fair opportunity for putting in practice whatever resolu­

tions for good he may have formed, therefore I would respectfully recommend that the statute be so amended as to allow the warden, -in his discretion,-to so appropriate a sum not exceeding ten dollars, and to see that he is provided, in addition to the clothing

WAitJ>EN'S REPORT. 17

worn, with an extra pair of stockings, a change of underwear and at least a brush and comb and a band-bag, ·when necessary; the cost of the extra furnishings not to exceed the sum of five dollars.

In the report for 1892, I suggested the appointing of a matron to supervise the labor and conduct of the female convicts.

The matter was not, at that time, considered of sufficient impor­

tance to make provisions for the appointment, still,-from a some­

what extended experience in the management of that class of con­

victs-I am fully corrdnced that it is proper and important that

their immediate attendants should be of their own sex, and yet, I

am as equally well convinced that, with the present constructive

arrangement of the prison, the accommodations for quarters are

neither sufficient nor suitable for the convicts or for female attend­ants, I would suggest either the building of a separate wing for the

exclusive occupancy and use of this class of convicts, with suitable

conveniences for female attendants, or,-what in my judgment ·would be still better,-the establishment, in some central locality,

of a prison for females.

In the management of an institution of this character, where the

various needs, and the present and future welfare of each individ­ual inmate, as well as the social and financial interests of the State

are involved, there are presented to us very many important points

that would seem to be proper subjects for discussion, but which it would be impossible to compass within the limits of these few

pages; consequently, in submitting this report, I have endeavored to mention such as have occurred to my mind as the most impor­tant.

In conclusion I desire to express thanks to the several members

of your Honorable Body for their kindly consideration, to tl:e Board of Inspectors for their valuable assistance and co-operation, and to the officers of the prison for faithfulness in the discharge of

their respective duties. Respectfully submitted,

SAMUEL H. ALLEN, Warden.

CHAPLAIN'S REPORT.

To the I11spectors of the 1lfcli11e State Prison:

GEXTLE:\IEX :-.. Within the yrar now closing sixty-two persons

have been committed to the Maine State Prison and forty-two were

committed during the previous year. Of these ninety and four­

tenths per cent were users of tobacco in one or both ways. The

remaining nine and six-tenths had never been users of tobacco. Fifty-nine and six-tenths per cent had been accustomed to use intoxicating drinks, occasionally in small quantities, or as hard drinkers. The others, forty and four-tenths per cent of the ·whole mun ber were teetotalers.

In educational advantages and acquirements they are classed as

follows: Twelve and five-tenths per cent could neither read nor

write when committed to prison, four and eight-tenths per cent could read bnt could not write, the others eighty-two and seven­tenths per cent had enjoyed school privileges, from the public schools to the college. A comparison of these statistics with those

given in my report for 18:)2 will show that the men committed in

the past two years, are not differe11t in social habits, intellectual

attainments, and moral characters from those committed in pre­Yious years.

I \lSTRUCTION.

The necessary use of the hospital for the purpose for which it

was bnilclPcl, lrns cl< privPd us of Hs use as a school room and there­

fore the work of tf>achin).r hns bePn mostly personal ·work. This has been clonp i11 the ewning with the men in their cells, and during·

the day en lling the n 1 P11 to the library room. Personal instruction

has some nchm1t:1µ:<'I-', but not finflicie11t to snpply the loss sus­

tained in laek of e1nss work. Of those 11ow in the prison and those

.36 STATE PRISON.

discharged within the year seventy-two have availed themselyes of the opportunity for stndy.

I wish again to call attention to the pressing need of a suitable room for evening school ·work.

LIBRARY.

The library has been newly classified and:: catalogued. One hundred and forty-six volumes have been added by purchase and gift. Two ·hundred and five volumes have been rebound. One

hundred and seventy-four volumes of magazines have been bound

and placed in the library. Two copies of The Century, of Har­per's, of The Cosmopolitan and of the New England Magazine are

taken for the use of the men. These are changed weekly from cell

to cell. Thus one magazine may afford its information to one hundrecl and eight men. A number of books which have been in

constant use for years need to be rebound soon.

MAIL.

Letters have been freely received by most of the men. ·with few exceptions the men improve the privilege given them of writ­ing to their friends. l\Iany of the men subscribe for one or more of the leading weekly papers of the State. Others are supplied by their friends. I have provided weekly a copy of such papers as The Youth's Companion, Zion's Advocate, The Independent, Zion's Herald, The Christian Advocate, The vVord and ·work, etc., for each man.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES.

Religions services have been held each Sabbath. I think ~here has been an increasing interest in these services. vVhile some harden themselves and strive to give the impression that they are

wholly indifferent to religious things, an increasingly large number

show an interest in these things and are as ready as the average of

mankind to talk of their duty to God, to thernselYes and their friends. The service of Scripture reading, conversation and prayer has been observed weekly in the hospital with but fe-w omissions.

CHAl'LAI:N"'S REPORT. 37

The ladies of the vVomeu's Christian Temperance Union have

continued to aid me in the service of Bible study and prayer with the fem ale prisoners.

·with many thanks to you each and to all the officers of the prison for the help giYen me in my work of instruction and redemption, this report is respectfully submitted.

PHYSICIAN'S REPORT.

To the I,v,pectors (~f the .1¥cdne State Prison :

GENTLE:'IIEN: Herein find my annual medical report of the l\Iaine

State Prison. On August 9th of this year the Insane Department of the l\Iaine

State Prison was established in accordance -with an act of the Legis­

lature of 18~HL A certain part of the -west wing of the prison was

fitted up for this purpose. Nmv cots, with mattresses, ·were pro­

vided, a bath room finished with all the nmY modern conYeniences, and a keeper who had had several years' experience at the insane

asylum at A ugust:1, assumed charge of this department. On the above elate twelve (12) insane conYict patients were brought here from the hospital at Augusta; and five ( fi) who m~re then in the

prison ·were put in the insane department. The general health of these men has been good. One has died during the year. Felmrnry 27th, Levi ,Jack die,1 of vnl'vnlar disease of the heart.

In the prison proper, there have been two deaths clnring the year.

April 11th, Colby Moore died of locomotor ::i_taxfa, and October 25th, Charles E. 2\lerrill died of clia l•etes. The genernl health of

the convicts has been good.

lrnve been but fc--w accidents.

No epi,lemies lutve occmTecl ancl there

Tile gooc1 ancl "\Yell cooked food, the warm clothing, the equitable temperntnre of the lmiWings, and the

excellent sanitary condition of the whole institution, have all helped

to bring about this good result.

Permit me here to thank the warden, deputy "\Yarcleu and all the

su borclinate ofiicers for the many courtesies extemlc<1 me clnriug my

Report of Commission Relating to Criminal Insane.

To His Excellency, the Governor, ancl the Executive Counca of the State of Maine :

The Commission created by '' An Act to amend chapter 13 7, of the ReYised Statutes, relntiug to the criminal insane" would respect­fully submit for your consideration its first biennial report for the

period ending November 30, 1894. The Commission, in pursuance

of its duties, held its first session at the State prison in April, 18H3,

aml carefully considered the Act of the legislature which contem­plated providing fo1· the insane criminals at the insane department of the State prison. The Commission fully inspected that portion of the prison, and took into consideration some changes which were

thought desirable for the comfort and care of its future occupants.

The resident member of the Commission immediately constructed a suitable bath-room, containing a water-closet, bath-tub and set wash-uowl. Tlns was thoroughly and efficiently piped for warm and cold water with the most approved material and in a workman­like manner. Hard wood floors were laid in some of the cells and a very comfortable sick room was arranged. The department had already been installed for electric lights, and upon inspection it was found that its steam radiation was sufficient for its proper heat and yentilation. Excellent bedsteads and bedding were furnished for the various rooms. Snitaule renovation of the entire depart­

ment was completed, and, by order of your Excellency and the Executive Council, thirteen of the criminal insane of the Maine Insane Hospital were removed to this department and placed under

treatment there August 9, 1893. In order to afford the unfortu­

nate inmates of this department proper care, an efficient and

experienced attendant was selected for their supervision from the Maine Insane Hospital to take charge of them during the day, and

a suitable night attendant was provided.

40 ST ATE PRISON.

The non-resident member of the Commission has visited the

department as often as once each month since its occupancy, and

has advised with the other members relative to the proper care and

treatment of the inmates.

The hygienic, dietary and sanitary conditions have been thoroughly

inspected from time to time, and we are pleased to report that nutri­

tious, wholesome food has been supplied at all times ; a special diet

has been afforded the sick and other attentions rendered, as the

necessity of each case required. The resident physician of the

Commission has at all times responded promptly and efficiently to the physical and mental necessities of the inmates.

The department has !Jeen properly warmed and lighted, and we

believe its sanitation is excellent. The inmates have been taken

out fol' exercise in suita!Jle "Weather, and a large share of physical

health has prevailed. Bnt one occupant has died, "Which was the

result of long-continued mental disease. He had been an inmate

of the Maine Insane Hospital continuously since 18G8, and several years before that time was a resident of the hospitnl for a short

period. From constant inspection, we feel assured that this fonni~

dable class, many of whom are afliicted with homicidal impn]ses, are being humanely and kindly cared for; and taking into considerntion the fact that the provisions for treatment of the insane at the Maine

Insane Hospital had become so limited, the action of the legislature,

providing for the elimination of this class from the hospital and caring for them at this department, was a wise procedure, and, we b21ieve, commends itself to the better judgment of the citizens of the State.

We append the following tabulation relnting to the numerical con~ clition of this department : Number admitted from Insane Hospital August 9, 1893.... 13 Number admitted from State Prison August 9, 1893....... 4 Adn1itted since.. . . . • . . • . • . • . . • • . • . . . • . • . • . • • . . . • • . . . • 6

REPORT Of VISiTING COMMITTEE.

Frequent visits during the past two yeai's as visiting committee of the Council, have suggested the following thoughts to my mind, in regard to the management and improvement of the prison. I have been pleased to notice the good discipline maintained by the warden and prison officials throughout the two years.

The prisoners have been snpplied with a sufficiency of whole­

some food, and the prison has been kept in a clean, and good sani­tary condition throughout all its parts.

:Marked irnproYements liave been made by the establishment of the laundry; installing a good electric light system; introducing po'wer; putting in new bathing facilities for the inmates; and re-bnilcling and re-arranging the stable and out-buildings ; all of which improvements were ordered by the last legislature. Early in 1893 a pol'tion of the prison was set apart for the accommoda­tion of the insane convicts, and afte1' it was properly repaired, all such we1•e transferred from the Insane Hospital to the prison. There are now nineteen patients of that class at the prison under the care of faithful and careful attendants ; and the supervision of the superintendent of the Insane Hospital. No provision was made by the legislature in the bill ordering their removal to the prison, for any pay for attendants to care for them, or to pay for their maintenance. Hence there is a deficiency to be provided for for the past two years, for their maintenance and care while at the prison, also provision should be made to compensate the superin­tendent of the hospital, for his necessary additional trouble and expenses in looking after them. The appropriation for the light­ing of the prison was not sufficient to allow its full lighting by elec .. tricity and should be increased. So long as the present law pro .. hibiting the employment of more than twenty per cent of the pris­oners in any one branch of business is continued, there will be an

42 STATE PRISON.

annual deficiency in the prison finances, for the reason, that it is necessary to furnish a full force of skilled overseers in each shop,

in order to give the men the instruction contemplated by the law, and skilled overseers command good pay. If all the prisoners were at work in one line of mannfactures but one set of overseers would be required. If the present system is to be continued, an appropriation must he made each year to meet the deficiency.

I commend the warden, chaplain, and all the other officials for their care and thoughtfulness for the well being of the prisoners and for the good health which has prevailed in all the departments

of the prison. During the past two years, I have as much as possible, made my

visits in company with the prison inspectors, and have found it greatly to my advantage; as it has enabled me to keep fully informed as to the mbole management and the actual condition of the prisoners.

I would recommend that additional land be purchased, for the purpose of enlarging the prison fields, so that they might produce what common farm products the prisoners reqnire ; by so doing a large saving might be made to the State in my opinion.

1 wish to express my thanks to the inspectors and all the prison officials for the uniform courtesy with which I have been treated by them during all our official intercourse.

Respectfully submitted,

WALDO PETTINGILL,

Visiting Committee of the Council,.

REPORT ON JAILS.

vV i. have visited the several jails in the State during the past

year as often, as in our judgment, was necessary and their condi­tion, in many respects, shmys a decided improvement. Our sug­gestions and recommendations have been cheerfully complied with by county officers. The jails, with one or two exceptions, have

been kept in good condition with the prisoners properly classified

and well cared for. Eight counties now clothe their prisoners in convict suits and

with satisfactory results in every way.

Aroostook and Knox counties have erected and equipped suit­

able sheds and yards for the employment of tramps, at breaking stone, which has resulted in a decided decrease of tramp commit­

ments in those counties. vVe have advised the county oflicers in some of the other counties to adopt a similar method of employing tramps and arrangements are now being made with that em1 in view.

There have been G,17G commitments for all crimes during the year ending ~ overnber 30, 1 t,\)4, of which 2G3 ·were fenwles, !l\)3

·were tramps, and 107 were poor delltors; 2,808 ·were committed for (1runkenness, 240 for selling intoxicants, and 2,0GG for non­

payment of tines. \Ye firn1 that a large mnn ber of those committed for drunkenness

were tramps. In some of the counties the expense attending the

arrest and commitment of tramps has become very burdensome and requires, in our judgment, some legislative action. ,,re would

respectfully suggest for the consideration of the legislature, that chapter 288 of the Public Laws of 1889 be so amended as to give judges of municipal courts and trial justices jurisdiction under that

act in order that they may be enabled to impose the penalties

therein provided for tramps instead of binding them over to a higher tribunal as they are now obliged to do.

44 JAILS.

The ht,vs governing the transfer of prisoners from one jail to another, when jails become overcrowded, should, in our judgment be so amended aR to allow the inspectors to remove prisoners to such jails as they may deem best and not be confined to the selec­

tion of work jails as the law now provides. This mattenrns called

sharply to our attention in one instance during the past year when

we found 103 prisoners confined in a jail contnining ten cells. There are but three work jails in the State and those being located in our large counties usually contain as many prisoners as they can well accommodate. If, in such transfers as the law contemp}ates, the inspectors were allowed to use their discretion, better results would be accomplished and with less expense to the counties requesting such transfers.

,v e append hereto the reports of the sheriffs of our several coun­ties in detail with tabulated statements.
